“Is the UK referendum result to leave EU legally binding?”
asked Lloyd Msipa (Bulawayo 24 opinion).
Actually, only a vote rigging tyrant like Mugabe and his
acolytes, who have never believed in the right of every citizen to a meaningful
in the governance of the country as a universal and inalienable right and as
the only solid guarantee good and accountable government, would ask such a blatantly
stupid question.
In answering the question for PM David Cameron you, Msipa, argue
the PM should find ways to keep the UK in the EU against the expressed democratic
wishes of the majority of the British people. Why don’t you just come out and
say he should have gone to Mugabe for expert advice on how to rig the vote. No
doubt the Zimbabwe tyrant would have put the British in touch with his NIKUV friends,
experts at tampering with voters roll; Mugabe would have paid NIKUV’s usual
princely fee too.
When it comes to cash, the nation may be broke but not
Mugabe, the tyrant is loaded. In March 2016 he admitted that $15 billion in Marange
diamond revenue was looted; so far not even one person has been arrested and so
the looting continues. In 2012 Africa Partnership Canada reported that Mugabe
pocketed a cool $2 billion, his share of looting and plundering of Marange
diamonds. Which, by the way, is a very good reason why Mugabe has bribed,
cheated and even murdered over 30 000 just to stay in power; the thought of
losing absolute power and fabulous wealth it has brought is simply unthinkable!
When Mugabe rigged the 2013 elections there was an avalanche
of articles from not just the usual Mugabe apologists but from Zimbabwe’s intellectuals
too all arguing the one thing – that we should just accept the rigged result as
fait accompli and move on. They were fuming at those who were demanding the
result must be put aside and a thorough investigation carried out on the
blatant vote rigging by Mugabe.
Here we have a case where the referendum was free, fair and
credible and the same dodgy intellectuals are up in arms arguing one thing – put
the result aside and find ways to undermine the democratic wishes of the populous.
For all their pretences of their love democracy, these intellectuals’ democratic
credentials are potato skin deep; it does take much to rub off, to reveal the true
tyrant in his blinding multi-coloured Joseph dream coat!
“The question in most people's minds is whether the
referendum result "to leave" is legally binding on the United Kingdom,”
you said. Where are these “most people” coming from? The UK is a healthy and
functional democracy with healthy and functional democratic institutions; the
democratic right of the people to a meaningful say in the governance of the nation
is held in high regard right across British society, it is sacrosanct. No
doubt, the question has exercised the minds of a certain tyrant and his
apologists.
Mugabe and his cronies should, by right, being having sleepless
nights on how to fix Zimbabwe’s worsening economic meltdown; fix the 90%
unemployment rate, fix the cash shortage, end the corruption and looting, etc. Mugabe
rigged the 2013 elections and now he cannot rig economic recovery! Given the
state of the Zimbabwe economy he is certainly having nightmares and no wonder
he is now known to doze off standing up – if you cannot sleep at night you will
have cat naps at the drop of a hat!
Too many nightmares and you are prone to catnaps at the drop of a hat –
even standing up!
Lloyd Msipa, PM David Cameron has done the right thing by
resigning because he is surely not the right person to captain the ship now
given he never believed in leaving the EU. Now that the decision to leave has
been made; he should let someone who believes in where the nation is going
lead. He, unlike some tyrants we know, has the humility to know he is not the
only person capable of leading the nation! The British do not need your stupid
advice Lloyd.
